Gotta wonder with the all of the above and US auto buyers flocking to SUVs, trucks and crossovers instead of sticking w/more efficient vehicles. :roll:Over recent years, we've seen a rise in the number of people underwater, as well as the amount of negative equity they have in their cars. In 2012, for example, only about 23 percent of cars traded in were worth less than what was owed on them. Compare that to the last quarter of 2017 when the 32.5 percent of trade-ins had negative equity. The amount of negative equity has also increased, up from $4,500 in 2015 to $5,100 in 2017.
